What could happen if a notary uses the term 'notario publico' in an ad?

  1. Awarded for clarity

  2. Nothing

  3. Suspended for a minimum of 1 year

  4. Given a raise

The correct answer is: Suspended for a minimum of 1 year

This is because using the term "notario publico" in an ad implies that the notary has the same legal authority and title as a notary public in Latin America, which is not the case. This can be seen as deceptive and misleading, and could result in disciplinary action or suspension by the notary's state. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not address the potential consequences of using the incorrect term in the ad.
